The Pope didn't want to get involved in American politics, but he did want to protect his Catholic church in China. They would've thought the Pope had of abandoned them if he went against China's snuggling moves to entice Italy into being friends again.

Sorry: I meant 'sepration'. Considerin' the snugglin' done to Urghar mosques: 8000 seen destroyed by satellite in the Chinese slave/re-education belt; the snugglin along the Indian-Sino frontier; and the snugglin' over Taiwan's airspace, now that Hong Kong and helot state of Tibet are completely snuggled I'm not overly optomistic about the basilica/cathedral near-my-god-to-thee aspects when Taiwan is finally permanently übersnuggled....and don't overlook the humongous 700+ Sino fishing fleet also seen on satellite in N.Korean waters snugglin excess squid while NK's own fishermen wash up dead of starvation from ghostboats in the Sea of Japan; probably on a cash-for-nukes sanction-avoidance arrângement! We're not at WWIII yet, jus' WW 2.5.
